<div role="main"><h1>Converting CDT 1.x Projects</h1>

<p>How you update your CDT 1.x project to the current CDT project format depends upon whether the 
project is a Standard Make project or a Managed Make project. For a Standard 
Make project, see <strong>Convert to C/C++ Project Wizard</strong> below.</p>
<h2>Updating a Managed Make Project </h2>

<p>For a Managed Make project, the Managed Build system will prompt you to 
convert your project when it attempts to read the Managed Build project 
information and discovers that the project needs to be updated.&nbsp; You will be prompted to update the project.</p>
<p> <img src="../images/update_managed_build.png" alt="Update Managed Builder dialog box"></p>
<p>Click <strong>Yes</strong> and the project will be updated.&nbsp; The updated Managed 
Build information can no longer be loaded by CDT 1.x or CDT 2.x.&nbsp; Select <strong>
No</strong> and the project will not be updated.&nbsp; You will be able to view the 
Managed Build settings, but no changes will be saved when you close the project 
or exit Eclipse.</p>

<h2>Convert to a C/C++ Project Wizard</h2>

<p>Select <strong>File > New > Convert to a C/C++ Project</strong>. If that selection is not available, you can find the instructions for adding it <a href="cdt_t_add_custom_persp.htm">here</a>.</p>
<p><img src="../images/file_new_conv.png" alt="File - New - Convert to a C/C++ Project menu selection"></p>
 
<p>From the <strong>Convert to C/C++ Make Project Wizard</strong> select the project you want to convert and click <strong>Finish</strong>.</p>

<p><strong>Note: </strong>You may need to manually enable Path Discovery for CDT 1.x Standard Make projects, depending on how your CDT project was configured.  
See <a href="cdt_t_discovery.htm">Set Discovery Options</a> for details.</p>
